Default Stripping parts for parts and profit, Ideas?

Well I have used this web forum many times, often for extremely simple stupid questions for which I hadn't yet learned enough to solve on my own; wellnow I have a basic question.

I have a 1990 CRX-Si Parts car which I purchased for 800.00, mainly for the aftermarket upgrades as well as hard to find replacment parts, wires ect.

Well I have reached a conclusion, I plan to sell the remaining car parts for reinbusment toward my purchase cost; my plan is simple,

Remove anything I want or need(now or possibly in the future)
Sell the remaining metal as scrap recycling.

My idea is to strip the usable components (as well as fluids, especially the gas tank and fuel lines) then chop the unibody into chunks for scrap.

If anyone has a better plan or approach plz let me know. The car as a whole is a heap but specific pieces are in excellent condition. Including the d16a6 longblock and the transmisson.

Yes I own the title, and no I odn't want to sell the vehicle as I am removing key components for my own use.

Thanks for your input.

Wont your local pick-a-part give you some money for the shell? I think they will also come and pick it up.

The rear-disc brakes could sell good for a conversion onto an '89; that's what I have. The 90-91 Si ECU's are chippable as well; I've had one done. So if you are willing to invest the time, you could make some of your money back.

Out of curiosity...is the instrument cluster in good shape?
